Tracking down my grandma Norma

[SydneyAuss]

Hi,

Does anyone have access to a QLD birth registration index?

I've been trying to determine my grandmother's birth date and year. Norma Lorraine Moore was born in 1922/1923 to parents William Frederick Henry Moore and Sarah (May) Houden in Emerald, QLD.

The QLD indexes only go up to 1914, so no luck thus far. Anyway I can positively ascertain what year she was born?

Also, would anyone be able to check where my grandmother lived on electoral rolls?

 She would have spent her early years living in QLD approximately 12 years from what I know. She then moved to NSW where she married Ivan George Phillip Mason in 1945 in Wollongong, NSW. I believe she remained in NSW till 1957. After which she moved to Melbourne, where she would die in August 1958. She had also spent some years in Melbourne, VIC previously.

Any assistance is very much appreciated 

Regards,

Anthony

Hello Anthony

The only electoral rolls I have access to end at 1936 so she's too young for those.  If you have an actuall date of death in August 1958 I am happy to look up the Melbourne papers for a death notice.
